Runes can be carved into many different materials to imbue them with magical properties, one of these is human skin. Rune carving experts in Half Moon Bay learned long ago that tattoos of runes inked onto a person's skin would grant that person magical abilities. Among those learned in the runic arts, this is often considered a dangerous procedure, since the effects of multiple runes together are not always predictable.
Since Half Moon Bay is a port town frequented by naval vessels, most of the customers in the tattoo shop are sailors. The sailors will often request more "normal" tattoos, but if they specifically request runes, the artists will bring them into a secret back room. The most popular runic tattoos are runes of strength, which the sailors want on their muscles. The local government wants to crack down on tattoo artists giving runic tattoos to sailors as they believe that the practice could lead to exposure of Half Moon Bay's secret.
